ROOM 6

This seemingly sparsely decorated room is, in fact, the best expression of the Bagatti Valsecchi brothers’ philosophy for their home: love for the past and the art of the Italian Renaissance wedded to the search for then-modern comforts. Despite their antique appearances, the bronze washbasin and the marble tub are really facilities with running water, quite avant-garde for the end of the nineteenth century.

On the tub’s wall:

LIMPIDA FLUIT

Clean (water) runs

On the fireplace:

SORDIDA PURGAT
